The 2017 Buick Encore made its debut in New York last month, giving us our first good look at the future of Buick's flagship SUV. Here are five things that stood out to us at 3Birds Template.
1. Available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
Staying connect on the go safely will be easier than ever in the 2017 Encore. The next-generation IntelliLink system supports both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing drivers to access their phone features through the 8-inch-diagonal color touch screen.
2. New LED headlights
The Encore has always looked great, and the new model is no exception with new front headlamps and rear LED signature tail lamps. Especially noteworthy, though, are the available full LED headlamps. This option makes a powerful style statement while providing efficient and clear lighting of the road ahead.
3. Updated instrument panel
The Encore's instrumentation features a brand-new gauge cluster and 4.2-inch-diagonal color driver information center. The instrument panel blends into the new center stack for more convenient access to your favorite features.
4. Standard OnStar 4G LTE connection
Buick is making its OnStar 4G LTE connection, including a Wi-Fi hotspot, standard across its model line. 4G LTE in the Encore allows passengers to connect up to seven devices to high-speed wireless Internet.
5. Lasting quality and value
The Encore was recently named Best Compact Crossover/SUV in Kelley Blue Book’s 2016 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, marking the third consecutive year for the honor. The 2017 Encore looks set to continue that tradition of quality.
“The Buick Encore created the premium small SUV segment and remains the top choice for customers seeking premium features and dependability coupled with timeless design,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick Sales, Service and Marketing. “In a rapidly evolving segment, the Encore continues to lead with smart, purposeful updates and a new level of technology-infused elegance and refinement.
